I got offered .3% as a first developer at a company. That's just insane.

No benefits, $45k pay cut, and even when everything goes well I might break even.

Were they people you'd like to work with on a project you'd like to help build? Maybe it's worth it. Life is for living, after all, and we do a lot of our living at our jobs; there's more to consider than just what you get paid.
